Orthophytum (Greek "ortho" = straight and "phytum" = plant)[citation needed] is a genus in the plant family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae.
Distribution
[edit]All the species of the bromeliad genus are endemic to the Atlantic Forest biome (Mata Atlantica Brasileira), located in southeast Brazil.[1][2][3][4]
Species are found in the Brazilian states of Alagoas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, and/or Pernambuco.[2]
Due to recent advances in technology and DNA testing many of the original Orthophytum species and cultivars have been reclassified under new genera.[5]
